Know before you buy
This piece is crafted from gypsum cement. It is a reproduction of an original hand-sculpted ceramic piece, providing a durable and textured finish.
The shelf is designed for standard wall mounting. We recommend using appropriate hardware for your specific wall type, such as drywall anchors or screws, to ensure it is securely fastened.
Yes, the gypsum cement construction is sturdy enough to support small natural treasures like crystals, rocks, and pinecones. However, it is not intended for heavy books or large decorative objects.
Because each piece is a reproduction of a hand-sculpted original and crafted in a studio setting, there may be slight variations in texture or finish. This contributes to the unique, artisanal character of the product.
It is perfect for air plants, which do not require soil or traditional pots. If you plan to use it for other small plants, ensure they are in leak-proof containers to protect the gypsum cement surface.
